'nd_pmu->pmu.attr_groups' is dereferenced in function
'nvdimm_pmu_free_hotplug_memory' call after it has been freed. Because in
function 'nvdimm_pmu_free_hotplug_memory' memory pointed by the fields of
'nd_pmu->pmu.attr_groups' is deallocated it is necessary to call 'kfree'
after 'nvdimm_pmu_free_hotplug_memory'.

LGTM

Does this need a Fixes tag?

Another one that would be fixed by static attribute groups.

I do think we should move forward with these fixes as is for ease of backport,
but long term this dynamically allocated attribute groups approach needs to be
jettisoned. ...unless I am missing a concrete reason it needs to remain dynamic?

Applied. Modified subject to "nvdimm: Fix dereference after free in 
register_nvdimm_pmu()"

Also added Fixes tag:
Fixes: 0fab1ba6ad6b ("drivers/nvdimm: Add perf interface to expose 
nvdimm performance stats")
